The problem with having a cat and the problem with being a dark haired
Eurasian Jew are the same- there's hair everywhere! One of us is always
shedding. I remember when people told me that I'd soon love Suki so
much that I wouldn't notice the cat hair everywhere. Love has never
made me that blind. I love her and I hate cat hair all over my
furniture. I also hate it in my sink after I blow dry my hair. It's
universal problem.
I got the sticky paper hair rollers for our clothes and then I
discovered the Pledge Pet Hair roller thing. WOW! It works great! I use
it on the couch, our duvet, the chairs, even my clothes when I am out
of the sticky paper roller thing. The only problem with the Pledge
thing is it's NOT (made to be) REUSABLE. It's a shame it's not reusable
because it's made of plastic and it fills with fur really fast so we
needed to get one almost every week. It was making our house fur-free
but what was it doing to the landfills? My husband, Dustin McGuyver
Woods, was losing sleep over this. How could we continue to rid our
house of excess fur, be environment friendly, and still have money for
our trips to Starbucks? He got to work and solved our problem. The lid to the pet hair thing is secured to the base with plastic posts
on all sides. He clipped the posts on both short ends (one on each end)
and along one long side (3 posts) so that the lid opens like a door. He
scooped all the fur out with his fingers and closed the lid. Because he
is a man, he secured it with a screw. I would've used tape. Now we can
use and reuse our pet hair thing and not need to keep buying new ones.
We just undo the screw and empty the fur when it is full, then reuse.
The plastic posts can be clipped with nail clippers or wire cutters,
whatever you cut with that is easy and you won't hurt yourself. Just
leave one side attached so it acts like a hinge. If you use a screw to
keep the lid closed, be sure it is a short one so your furniture
doesn't get scratched. Now I wonder if McGuyver Woods can create a self-emptying litter box.

I am an artist. And an art journaler. And a cookie baker. And someone's sister. And I love the word and. Right here is where I keep my journal.
